Youth players
Working with kidsWhen teaching kids we will make use of red, orange, green balls to make tennis slower and easier to rally from the start! We use lots of games and activities to make tennis enjoyable and make sure everyone gets to hit a lot of balls anf have fun!
Working with teenagersWhen teaching teenagers, I adapt my lessons to balance skill development with social and competitive aspects that appeal to this age group. I incorporate advances drills and techniques that encourage cooperation and peer learning. We focus on both strategic thinking and physical fitness to best prepare then for competitive play!
